Subject: [PATCH] mm/mremap: Fail map duplication attempts for private mappings

mremap will create a 'duplicate' mapping if old_size == 0 is
specified.  Such duplicate mappings make no sense for private
mappings.  If duplication is attempted for a private mapping,
mremap creates a separate private mapping unrelated to the
original mapping and makes no modifications to the original.
This is contrary to the purpose of mremap which should return
a mapping which is in some way related to the original.

Therefore, return EINVAL in the case where if an attempt is
made to duplicate a private mapping.
